Abstract
The effects of continuous, pulsed and stopped flow on the dispersion of a dye in a micro flow injection system were studied experimentally and by digital simulation. A channel of 200 μm by 200 μm by 21550 μm was used to compare experimental results with the numerical results. Furthermore the injection of the dye into the flow system was studied. Video recordings of the injection were compared to simulations during and just after the injection.
Different flow rates ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 μl/min were used to study the continuous flow. The time where the flow was stopped to study the effect on the dispersion ranged from 10 to 400 seconds. The pulse frequency, to study the pulsed flow, ranged from 6 Hz to 0.1 Hz.
The numerical model used in this paper shows an excellent agreement with the experimental values obtained. The video recordings compared to numerical simulations show that the numerical model could be used to model the injection.
The general numerical model allows the calculating of the flow profile, pressure distribution and the concentration distribution of the sample, three dimensional, throughout an arbitrary channel.
